IMPROVED CLIP FCR HARNESS.

.The Schedule referred to Ain these Letters Patent and making prt of thesame To all who-m it may concern Be it known that- I, CHARLES M. TnngP,of Pittsburg, in the. county ot Allegheny, and State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and'usefnl Improvement in Clips for Harness; V.and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription therevof, reference being had to the accompanying drawingsand to the letters of reference. marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists 'in making a new article ot'u'ianufzwture, viz; a clip forf harness, constructed as hereinafterdescribed. Y

To enable others `skilled in the art to make and use my invention, Iwill proceed to describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of my specificatiou-Figure l is a side view of my improvement in clips for harness.

Figure 2 represents `the hook of the single-troc ar-l rangfd in t-hespiral opening of the clip.

Figure 3 represents a single-tree with cli ps arranged on its hooks.

In the' accompanying drawings- A represents the clip, which maybe cast,or cut out; of sheet-metal, and is provided withV an opening, D, for thepurpose of attaching it to the traces of the' harness. l

The clip is also prorided with a spiral opening, C, Vwhich terminates ina round or elliptical opening, B, `which is used for passing the clipover` the head or disk c of the hooks f of the single-tree X.

In attaching thevclips to the single-tree, the disk c of the hooks j' ispassed through the opening B. The hook f is then placed `in the spiralopening G, which A will secure. the clip surely and safely to thesingle-tree without liability of becoming accidentally detachedtherefrom. i

The advantage of my improvement. in clips for harness consists infurnishing a cheap clip, which can, with ease and facility, be cast, soas to make it of malleable cast-iron, or it may be stamped or cut out.of sheet-metal. g

Having thus described my improvement,

A new article ot manufacture, viz: the clip A,.for

harness, provided with openings D B and spiral opening C, constructedand arranged as herein described, and for the purpose set forth. i
